You clearly didn't read the copy pasta. It has nothing to do with "internet points" no one gives a fuck about those. Downvoting is censorship. Downvoting tells other people this is spam, or illegal, or off topic so don't look at it. We don't censor opinions we dislike.
downvoting is censorship
You are a fucking retard if you believe that.
See buddy, this is why so many people dislike you (that and the ban hammer). I don't mind, I know you're just curmudgeon-bro.
Also, you're calling the site's owners retarded (aou and pmyb2) as they believe exactly what I said. Have an upvote, bro.

Don't care.

Yes. Don't care. They're in a different position than I am. The admins/owners allowing uncensored speech is good. But disallowing the users from policing the boards with some sort of communal type system is fucking retarded and leads to far, far, far, far, far more abuse than allowing it would.
I've been here a short time and 2 days doesn't go by in which a new kike poster is here clamoring against AOU specifically by name in their Username. Calling for some form of ability to disrupt the site's normal mechanics by way of "muh censorship".
I've said it before: free speech is an AWFUL ideal to hold when there are enemies within who will use it against you and free speech itself. Anyone who can't see that is extremely stupid. Anyone who disagrees with the premise is insanely naive. Free Speech is to downvotes here as to freedom of association is to never relaxing around blacks. You wouldn't disagree with the latter, that you disagree with the former is exceptionally curious and of no thought.
We don't censor opinions we dislike.
Which is retarded.
If someone were to say blacks were equal to Whites, downvote spam should cause said comment to be hidden from view.
However to your point then there needs to be an option per account of;
heavily downvoted comments and submissions are not hidden from view
Then all the dumb niggers who cry about muh downvote equals censorship!!!! can check that option and live in their own totally diverse, inclusive and tolerant paradise.
Which is retarded.
Nope, it's well thought out and elegant. Downvoting unpopular opinions, instead of debunking them, is why reddit is a lefty shithole, and why voat was an echochamber.
>can check that option and live in their own totally diverse, inclusive and tolerant paradise.
That's a straw-man curmudgeon-bro. You don't need to tolerate a view you disagree with you can use your words; form an argument... or just call the nigger a nigger and ignore it. Freedom of speech means that you have the right to speak, but I also have the right to hear you.
Also, do you ever remember my name? The way you type to me sometimes, I can't tell. I think our bro-ship may be one way. ;-) have another upvote.

So I should have to debunk every single person here that comes with any of "blacks are equal" "not all jews" "women belong in politics" or some other obviously wrong kikery that's been debunked for... for always? I should have to do it again? Those are NOT opinions. Those ARE spam. However if I were to downvote every single instance of those that I saw, or similarly spam type non-opinions: I would be tagged. Which is retarded. To claim those are opinions, is dishonest, low intelligence, and suspicious. To claim they're worthy of being allowed to be said is all of the above as well.
It would be like me going in the /fitness/ sub and claiming that any normal person can eat a garbage diet and just do normal cardio to burn it off. It's not an opinion. It's false. It's carried by no science. It's been argued before for years and years and years. It reeks of plebbit FPH which gave to voats rise which gave to poals small gain in membership. But it should be allowed to be downvote spammed an hidden and the user posting it should be punished by the community.
Same goes for;
the holocaust happened
or;
the Nazi German state killed any jews as a matter of being jewish
or;
some jews are good / not all jews
interracial marriage is acceptable
homosexuality is acceptable / normal / possibly healthy
gender exists outside of linguistics
muh gun violence
muh criminal justice equality
muh oppressed nonWhites
nonWhite should be allowed in ANY once White country
Those too are NOT opinions. They are ONLY maliciously stated.
Reddit is a lefty shithole because of censorship, vote manipulation by admins and because reddit attracts losers. There's no one left to upvote good content because they all got banned and when /r/thezognald gained traction the admins manually prevented it from getting to /r/all.
cont;
Not allowing the community to use downvotes to punish malicious non-opinion is like forcing employees to go to (((unconscious bias))) training.
They say this is a free speech site, and they implemented up/down voats even though they consider them censorship. Admins are fucking retarded, apparently.
I don't agree with that assesment because there is an infinite amount of arguments to be made about why something is off topic.
I understand that it could be considered censorship, but if you say that, then upvotes are censorship too. Upvotes elevate certain comments to prominence above others. If enough like minded comments are posted it will drown out the ones that aren't upvoted.
I understand the argument, I just don't think it's enough. Downvoting is an integral feature of voting sites. It's not a "worst case scenario" option.
I don't agree with you, but well said, and well though out. Have an upvote.
